the greater risks

English to French Medical Medical: Health Care
The first carotid endarterectomies were performed in 1953. In the following three decades the number increased, until halfway through the 80s, when several works showed very high figures of cerebral infarction and post-surgical death, which suggested that many indications were inappropriate, since the combined risk of the angiography and surgery outweigh the expected benefit.
In the 1980s, multicentre, controlled and randomised studies (ECST, NASCET) started to delimit the type of patient (symptomatic or assymptomatic) and the degree of stenosis at which surgery could offer a more favourable quotient.
In 1980 the first angioplasties in patients with stenosis were performed.The challenge of the new techniques (angioplasty at onset and angioplasty + carotid stent subsequently) is to overcome the rates of morbidity and mortality in surgery.
A randomised study, the CAVATAS,(1) with 504 patients treated between 1992 and 1997, comparing endovascular treatment to carotid endarterectomy, concluded that the greater risks and the effectiveness in preventing stroke over 3 years are similar in both groups.

je ne vois pas sur quoi porte le comparatif ici, merci d'avance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Dr Sue Levy (X) Nov 15, 2005:
CAVATAS study here: http://www.cavatas.com/ I think "greater risks" paraphrases "risks of major outcomes (stroke and death)".

les risques importants

Il me semble que "greater" n'a pas de valeur comparative ici.

dangers imminents relatifs a

comparing endovascular treatment to carotid endarterectomy,

Il me semble que l'on veuille comparer le traitement endovasculaire avec CAVATAS (Medicaments) a la chirurgie.
Les dangers imminents relatifs aux effets secondaires du medicament et de la chirurgie se sont averes similaires. (Sorry for the missing accents)

morbidity and mortality are greater risks or major risks of the surgery.
